Chieftain Capital Management is an investment advisor that was formed in January 2010 when the original Chieftain Capital was split into two separate firms. The firm was originally founded in 1984 by John Shapiro and Glenn Greenberg. In late 2009, the firm split in two, due to personality conflicts, dividing into Chieftain Capital Management and Brave Warrior Advisors. Mr. Shapiro and partners Tom Stern and Joshua Slocum formed the new Chieftain Capital Management, leaving Greenberg who now heads up Brave Warrior Advisors. Chieftain Capital focuses on value investing for institutions and individuals.
